A Mizmor of David.
Yahuah, I cry unto you: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto you.
Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Set a watch, O Yahuah, before my mouth; guard the door of my lips.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Our bones are scattered at She'ol's mouth, as when one cuts and cleaves wood upon the earth.
But my eyes are unto you, O Yahuah Adonai: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Guard me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while that I withal escape.
